Selfridges Wool Character Costume

These crazy balls of wool have been created for Selfridges Wool week, which was a very special event launched in 2010. The Campaign for Wool is a project backed by the Prince of Wales to promote the British wool industry. These two character were created especially to help promote wool, which is why they have been fashioned to look like balls of wool.
